Jean Schiedler-Brown

Jeanne is a professional and highly intelligent attorney. Her work was outstanding. She has the ability to gain a strong understanding of a case quickly and has the experience to handle challenges effectively. I am truly grateful that she was my attorney and feel that I would strongly recommend her t...o anyone needing a good lawyer.

It was my extreme misfortune to have Ms.Jean Schiedler-Brown represent me in a fairly uncomplicated divorce settlement case. Both my wife and I wanted this divorce to be over quickly and in a fair fashion. In over a year and half as my attorney, Ms. Schiedler-Brown refused to speak directly to the op...posing attorney in any real attempt to settle and finalize my divorce. She did not return my phone calls over that time or respond back to the numerous FAX’S I sent her in my attempt to have her act in a timely and professional manner. I believe that Ms. Schiedler-Brown basically chose to ignore my case. I later found out that the opposing attorney had transmitted some settlement offer proposals to Ms. Schiedler-Brown. I would have considered these proposals at that time but I was not informed of them. I found Jean Schiedler-Brown to be both uninformative and extremely unresponsive to my needs as a client. I subsequently fired her and obtained another attorney. Divorce is bad enough and made even worse with an incompetent attorney.

I hired Jean to represent me in a fraud case. She pretended to conduct interviews related to the fraud. After over a year she had a phone conference with the other side. AT that time, she learned that I lacked standing to bring an action. It was easily ascertainable that I didn't have standing. It wa...s a threshold issue that just an "average" attorney would have verified at first, charged for the hour it took, and discontinued the representation. She didn't bother. When, after a year, the other side informed her of the standing issue she failed completely to inform me. She mentioned it in a throw away remark. Because she didn't inform me, I incurred fines to say nothing of the 7k I threw away on her pretence of representation. She cut off all contact with me and would not take phone calls or refund any of my money. She was disorganized and unresponsive during her representation. I requested copies of her entire representation and there was no itemized billing, no list of activities or phone calls, no interview sheets - she had done nothing but collect money for which she was not entitled. She is not fit to practice law. I still intend to bring an action against her for complete failure to earn a single cent of the money she took.

I was referred to Jean by a friend who had used her services before. She represented me in a personal injury action resulting from a car accident where I was injured by a negligent driver. When I contacted her, the insurance company for the driver who hit me was refusing to pay any of my medical bill...s, which were quickly mounting due to the physical therapy prescribed by my doctor. They were also refusing to acknowledge fault in the accident, despite the fact that their insured plowed into my car from behind while I was stopped in traffic. Jean got all of my bills paid by the insurance company and got me a nice settlement that my husband and I were able to use as a down payment on our house. Once Jean took over, I was able to concentrate on recovering from the accident instead of getting stressed out about how the insurance company was trying to steam roll me. She did a great job!
